Time and the Soul: A Spiritual Biography ~Co-presented with Pt Reyes Books~ Join TNS Host Michael Lerner for the next in his series of spiritual biographies-this one with author, professor, and philosopher Jacob Needleman.
It's wonderful to hear Dr. Needleman again. I bought 'Time and the Soul' after hearing him in another interview. His stories, questions and examples have such deep resonance! (BTW, I love the artwork behind the two of you!)
In Freiburg where Needleman studied he would have read Heidegger's Being and Time. This would have been his preparation for his understanding of the work of Gurjieff which he explains so well.
Money is tricky. Money in essence is Survival and how to survive? And what is real Survival or what is it to Live? to fulfill! to be in a position as to develop in all the different ways spiritually and worldly and humourously.
The Russian who wrote the book on the Christian tarot (around 1:18:00) - could that be Valentin Tomberg's Meditations on the Tarot? That is a profound book.
Tomberg was Estonian. Jacob says "Solovyov" (Vladimir) which Michael mishears as "Soviet." But I believe the author in question is Tomberg. I'm not aware of Solovyov having written anything on the Tarot, though he is well worth exploring as well for his take on "inner" Christianity. Excellent talk between these two!
@@M-i-k-a-e-l Other than Tomberg, I don't really know. I've heard that Origen is sometimes interpreted as making reference to reincarnation, or metempsychosis, but I haven't read the passages myself. Rudolf Steiner does of course, but he's quite outside the orthodoxy.
money is a means to an important end - wellness and freedom, with wellness and freedom one can attain "is ness" the possibility of becoming a true human with great capacity for good. When the body is strong the yoga is more profound the inner engineering more efficient the comprehension more astute and the therefore the desire to serve and teach exquisite. All the ancient teachings say you cannot get anywhere without using the divine instrument - the body
